Dizzy Wallin Custom Action Figure

Dizzy is my latest effort, you will need one Dom Santiago figure (chest and head) and one Augustus Cole (legs and arms).  Again I looked extensively at reference images to make the best I could.  I also for the first time with this custom started carving the figures.

  1. To separate the figure I soaked them in hot water and pulled them into all the small parts.
  2. I then used Cole’s legs, and had to cut a portion of the waist as he was too tall.  I put Cole’s arms on Dom’s body.
  3. I then used a rotary tool to remove the torch light from Doms, shoulder, cut the toes hole in the boots and shape the lower portion of the chest armour.  I also removed the pouch at the back of the chest, knife and holster.
  4. I then used Milliput to build details including the straps on the legs and arms and fill in the holes in the chest armour, I moved the knife to the other leg and cut Cole’s arm so that the figure could hold the weapon.  I then sculpted the elbow joint, arm straps and torn clothing.
  5. For the shot gun shells on the chest I used old Dragon model shells and made the bandolier.  I made the beard and hat from Milliput.  (I tried my glove method that I used for the Theron Guard helmet but it didn’t work so the hat is permanently attached.
  6. Finally I sculpted the leg holster and painted the figure.
